Watch out, watch out, there's a new Safety Camera bike about!

The Sun reports today...

"A SPEED camera mounted on a motorbike has nabbed nearly 1,000 drivers ? and raked in £55,000 worth of fines in just 38 HOURS. The £30,000 Honda Deauville zaps drivers on lanes and bends with a laser. But last night the sneaky machine bought with the proceeds of other traps was slammed by motoring groups."

Doesn't the Safety Camera Partnership, the Police and the Government (including Local Authorities) realise that people they fine are not actually slowing down ? Sure they may for a few hours, or a couple of days but people just keep creeping back up above the speed limit. All fining motorists is achieving is to bring in more taxes/revenue so the Government (and local Police Authorities) can spend the money as they see fit. It doesn't have the effect of slowing people down which is the intended use of these Speed Cameras!
